Remember Your Favorite Old-School TV Dinners With These Recipes

This TV dinner is gigantic! Have Thanksgiving any time on a sheet pan where DIY foil compartments hold stuffing, sweet potato casserole, green beans and a turkey breast. Serve yourself and three friends or package up the leftovers into ready-to-go meals.

The taste of these chopped steak patties makes the sounds of classic sitcoms play in our heads. Green beans, creamed corn and a pre-made brownie complete the meal.

Mini meatloaves make the perfect ode to diner grub, complete with a delectable dessert. If you don’t like your food to touch, plate it up in a compartmented tray like the one shown here.

Flavorful and modern, this entrée is like the next step in the evolution of TV dinners. Plate it up in a sectioned, freezable container with your favorite sides (here, roasted potatoes and fruit crumble are shown), freeze and heat and eat for dinner in minutes.

Instead of corralling each dish in its own compartment, this recipe layers turkey, cranberry sauce and stuffing into one single foil dish, giving you the perfect bite with each scoop.

If you're trying to prioritize health over homey, try one of these better-for-you make-ahead meals.
